Sick

I just found out yesterday that I have mono. I woke up Thursday morning with a terrible sore throat, so I went to the doctor and got diagnosed with strep... and then they called yesterday to tell me I have mono. I'm not thrilled to have it, but it has its pros and cons. I'm super tired all the time. I sleep like 14 hours a night, and I eat nothing. Absolutely nothing. Today I ate some lettuce, the day before a piece of toast. Tomorrow I plan on eating a salad. Plus no one confronts me about not eating because I'm sick. And I'm never hungry. I get kind of hungry at 6ish, so I eat a snack and then I'm good till the next day! I hoping to lose 10lbs from this. I've already lost 4.

I also looked at a few apartments today with some friends. I still haven't heard about the RA position so I decided to start looking at houses. The ones I saw were really nice for student apartments. One was really big and well lit. It was definitely my favourite. Plus the bedroom I want, no one else wants. It's upstairs, unlike most of the bedrooms which are in the basement, and it has TWO closets. No one wants it because it can't fit a desk and a double bed, but I could care less. I want the closet space. But I need to figure out the RA thing first before I get into leases and bedrooms and everything. I'm getting way ahead of myself. Honestly I'd prefer the RA position. It pays the cost of food and my room (which would be a double - all to myself), and there would be less of a chance of people noticing what I eat. If I live off-campus I have to pay food and rent, and I know my friends will be on my back about food. They've been really annoying about it lately, but they've been better since they heard I was sick.

I don't really have much more to say and I'm exhausted so I'm going to go to bed. At 10pm. On a Saturday. Definitely on the con list of having mono.

I hope you're all doing well!
